Our Story in Spain

From Lockdown Move To A New Life On The Costa del Sol

We moved to Spain in 2020 during lockdown and began a journey that took us first to Playa Flamenca, then to Torrevieja, then to the campo outside Catral, and now on to the Costa del Sol. This site is where we share that story, the places we’ve discovered, and what we’ve learned along the way.

The Journey So Far

  • Moved from the UK to Spain during lockdown in 2020
  • Lived in Playa Flamenca from 2020 to 2021
  • Then moved to Torrevieja and explored more of the Costa Blanca
  • Then spent time living in the campo outside Catral
  • Now building the next chapter on the Costa del Sol

Five Years, Different Places, One Ongoing Story

This is not just a travel site. It is the story of building a life in Spain, learning different areas, experiencing the highs and lows of the move, and slowly understanding what each place has to offer.

We arrived in Spain in 2020, right in the middle of lockdown, and began a completely new chapter. Like many big moves, it came with excitement, uncertainty and a lot to learn. Over the years that followed, Spain became much more than a place we visited. It became home.

Our first base was Playa Flamenca, where we lived from 2020 to 2021. After that came Torrevieja, another important part of our story and a place that helped us get to know even more of the Costa Blanca. Later, we experienced a very different side of Spain again through life in the campo outside Catral.

Along the way, we visited and explored much of the Costa Blanca, learning the feel of different towns, coastlines and everyday life in each area. Now, with a move toward the Costa del Sol, this site is evolving too — becoming a place to share our journey more clearly, the places we’ve loved, and the new chapter we’re now building in southern Spain.

The Places That Shaped Our Journey

Each stage of life in Spain has had its own feel, pace and lessons.

Playa Flamenca

Our first chapter in Spain, from 2020 to 2021, settling in during an unforgettable time.

Torrevieja

The next stage of the journey, with more time on the Costa Blanca and more places explored.

Catral Campo Life

A different rhythm of life, more space, and another side of Spain away from the busier coast.

Costa del Sol

The newest chapter — bringing fresh energy, new places and a new direction for the site.

What You’ll Find Here Now

As we move into the Costa del Sol chapter, the site is becoming a clearer home for the story, the places and the practical side of life in Spain.

Our Spain Story

Real-life reflections on moving, settling, changing areas and what it has actually been like to build a life here over the years.

Places We’ve Explored

From the Costa Blanca to the Costa del Sol, we share towns, coastlines, day trips and places that stood out to us along the way.

The Next Chapter

The move toward the Costa del Sol opens up a fresh direction for the site, with new stories, new locations and a wider journey still unfolding.

Helping Businesses Get More From Social Media

Alongside sharing our journey in Spain, we also work with selected brands and businesses that want to make better use of video, storytelling and social media content.

Video Content Direction

We help businesses understand what kind of video content feels natural, watchable and right for today’s social platforms, especially short-form video.

Ideas That Fit The Brand

Not every business needs to post in the same way. We help shape ideas around the atmosphere, experience and personality of a place so the content feels more real and more effective.

Better Social Media Thinking

From hotels and restaurants to tourism and property businesses, we help brands think more clearly about how to show up online using story-led, video-first content.

Why This Story Matters

People connect more deeply with places when they’re shown through lived experience, not just a list of facts.

Real Experience

This comes from actually living in different parts of Spain and learning how different each chapter can feel.

Different Sides of Spain

From Playa Flamenca and Torrevieja to campo life in Catral and now the Costa del Sol, the journey has never been one-dimensional.

A Personal View

The site works best when it feels like your voice, your story and your perspective rather than a generic travel brand.

A New Chapter

The move to the Costa del Sol gives the whole brand a natural next stage, while still respecting the years spent discovering the Costa Blanca.
